“Cali? It’s Alden, they took him!” Jerry cried, calling Cali on the phone. Someone took Alden on their way home after their shift. It's been a month since Alden moved to Jerry’s house after his kidnapping incident. Cali was confident he will be safe with Jerry. Living alone in his apartment worries him a lot. Cali immediately took the plane back to Italy after hearing his voicemail and skipped his victory party. He went straight at the club and talked to Jerry who was still in shocked. He informed Cali that a black van pulled over in front of them and force Alden to go with them pointing a gun to their faces. The kidnappers were wearing a mask and plate number of the van was removed. He already reported the incident to the police and are now tracing the van with the security camera on the street. “Did you know who took him?” Jerry asked shakenly. He stayed at the club and was afraid to go home. They gave him some pills to calm him and arranged the dressing room for him to sl
There was a picture of Jonathan talking to a woman and from her silhouette, Cali recognized her as Eerie from her clothes and hair. Although she was wearing a mask, it cannot be denied that it was her. It was taken near the warehouse where Nova retrieved the triad’s stolen cars. “He knows her?” Cali uttered checking the other pictures. It was taken the same day. Cali scroll all the files searching a close up look of Eerie’s face, but he cannot see one. In the picture, she and Jonathan were discussing something serious. “Are they talking about Fabe? What are you doing Jonathan?” First, Jonathan kidnapped Bryce and now talking to Eerie. Is he the one who took Alden and threat us all? Cali thought. Another folder contains a recording of Jim’s call with Bryce the day he died. He was talking about Frank. Jim suspect him who ordered to kill them resulting from blowing up their hotel room. “Frank? I don’t think so. Maybe the triad ordered that,” Cali scratch his head. Jonathan and Frank
“So I guess we’re going home,” Fabe cuddled in Bryce’s arms. “We are. At least your Mrs. Hamilton now. That’s all that matters,” Bryce peck her forehead. “What do you think would happen then?” “I’m hoping your dad will accept me, because I know my neck is on the line. Not to mention Jonathan.”“I don’t worry about Jonathan. I can handle him.”The next day, Fabe and Bryce fixed their stalls and left everything to Billie while they’re gone. She remembered Cali and turn on her phone before packing their things. “Shit!” Fabe immediately called Cali reading his messages about Alden.“Thank God, Ava! I need your help.”“How’s Alden? Is he okay?”“Yes, he’s at the hospital right now. I think Jonathan did this to him. I am not sure but I suspect him. I need to transfer him somewhere safe.”“I am not surprise if Jonathan is up to this. Just be with Alden and prepare everything. I’ll get you out of there. I know some place safe for him.”“Where?”“Caribbean. Billie will take car
Bryce went to the hospital. He will drive the ambulance to the hangar where Billie and his men was waiting, while Cali and Jerry pushed Alden’s stretcher to the exit door. Fabe was in her car escorting the ambulance. “Come on, Jerry. We need to hurry. They are waiting for us now,” Cali and Jerry was on their way to the exit when a group of guy caught Cali’s attention. “Stop!” Cali whispered and pushed the stretcher to the side.“What’s going on?” “Jerry, those guys. They’re not the hospital security.”“Then, who are they?”“I don’t know. Let’s wait for a while.”Cali saw an empty room and pushed the stretcher inside. The guy passed by them and was talking on the phone.“Search for them. Our sources says they are still here. Keep your eyes open. The woman and Mr. Hamilton would be here for sure,” the guy said as they spread out.“Woman? Are they referring to Ava?” Cali mumbled. He told Jerry to stay with Alden who was still unconscious after his operation. “Where are yo
Fabe and Bryce stayed at the Donovan’s mansion as per Massimo’s request. He wanted to keep an eye on his son in law. Now that they are officially married again, there’s no room to repeat the past. “Are you okay in this set up? I mean it’s just for a moment. I’ll convince dad to let us live on our own.”“It’s okay Fabe, I understand him. No need to rush. We’ll have plenty of time together.”Bryce pulled Fabe close to him and kiss her forehead. He’s a little worried, but he kept it. This is temporary, he said in his mind. *******Massimo were looking for Cali. He didn’t visit him after his fight and no he cannot contact him. Since Fabe is back, he want his family to be complete and he got a call from Cali’s gallery that they need to talk to him as soon as possible. Massimo asked his secretary, Ingrid, at the gallery, but she refused to say any word and would like to talk to her boss first. “Princess? Did Cali called you? I can’t get through his phone,” Massimo was pissing ove
Massimo ordered Cali’s presence immediately. He wants to clarify the pictures and to hear it from his own mouth, while Stephen remained calm and in deep thoughts. Panic sits in Fabe’s mind. Calling Cali many times but still didn’t get any answer. She called Billie and asked him to go their cabin and inform Cali about her call urgently.Billie found Cali by the backyard with Alden.“Finally! He’s awake. How is he?” “Better,” Cali turned to Alden and introduce Billie to him, “He’s the one who helped us out.”“Please to meet you, Billie, and thank you, for everything. I owe you my life,” Alden stood and shook his hand.“Oh, please. It was Fabe’s planned. I just executed it. Cali, can I talk to in private?” Billie glance inside the cabin. Cali excuse themselves and led Billie inside.“Did you check your phone?” Billie asked sensing that Cali didn’t bother to looked at it.“No. I did not. I’m sorry it slipped my mind. Why?” “Well, you better go and check it out. It’s urgent.”
Cali was standing by the door. Massimo was stunned seeing him. It was as if he was gone for too long. “Dad, I’m sorry,” Cali burst into tears and came up to him kneeling, hugging his legs. “Stand up, son. It’s not your fault being different,” Massimo pulled him up in tears and hugged him.Also, Stephen came to him and hugged his brother, showing encouragement, support and acceptance. Fabe was glad seeing the guys in the family altogether. They maybe have differences, but it was never a hindrance for them to love each other. “I just wish you tell us sooner, Cali, so we can avoid this,” Stephen point on the pictures scattered on top of Massimo’s table. “I was scared. I can’t accept if dad would disowned me or cat me out.”“What? That's ridiculous,” Massimo creases his forehead.“Actually, dad and suspect you before as gay. When you entered mixed martial arts, we were happy thinking that we just judge you wrong. But no matter what, we always got a hunch of the drag queen.”“P
Stephen cornered Frank in a meeting. he proposes to discuss Cali's death. It's all over the news and everyone think he is the guy inside the hotel room, but it was just a dead body Stephen bought in the morgue. His accomplice place it in the room before he left and watched in his car across the street. After a few hours, the room exploded. It was all over the news in less than thirty minutes. "Shall I walked in that hotel and scare them all?” Cali joked, watching the news commemorates his achievements as an athlete and business men. While the rest of the family was bombarded with phone calls to confirm the news. Massimo already warned the police to shut their mouth until he gave the signal. Let them think his son is dead. “Nah, let them mourn,” Stephen said and urged Fabe to go now. Frank is waiting for them. Time to catch their prey, “Stay here, Cali and keep us posted. Let’s see what excuses Frank cooked again.”Fabe approached Bryce and Liam and give them a kiss.“Stay ou
